John and Gordy are gone! Or are they? Though they're taking this whole week off, through the magic of technology, they've prepared some special shows in advance. Today we kick off covering the National Day Calendar, and checking the History Book with Sam. Later, we hear a conversation the guys had a couple weeks ago with Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils, all about the (un)Science of Reading - a one size fits none curriculum.
